Program
Sobolev Spaces are the basis of the modern theory of variational differential equations. The Sobolev spaces occur in a wide range of questions including, for instance, differential geometry, harmonic analysis, engineering, mechanics, and physics.
Verification
Possible seminar on proposed/assigned specific argument
